I know the Audi A6 tells you when it is overfilled - but often caused by a faulty sensor rather than too much oil/diesel in the sump. Not a message you ever want to see as it could precede runaway which is no fun at all.

Stupidest idea ever in my opinion. My wife's BMW has no dipstick. Recently the timing chain tensioner came loose which I noticed due to oil residue on the drive. I had no idea how much oil had been lost and the digital gauge would only give a reading once up to temperature. So, I had to run the engine, potentially low on oil until I had a reading telling me how much to add.

But with the Jaguar version you can show the amount cold by popping the bonnet open rather than waiting for the engine to warm etc.

I personally have a preference for a normal dipstick, but don't really have anything against an electronic ones other than they can "potentially" go wrong at some point, but I've not heard of it happening.

If not already mentioned, with ignition on and bonnet up, pressing the cruise control cancel button twice within 2 seconds gives a "live reading of the engine oil level" according to the worship manual.

To my complete surprise he revealed that one of his favourite ever cars was an XF!
A 2008 XF in special order BRG with Volans wheels. He called it an "XF Sport" which I have never heard of, maybe...

Hello everyone. I'm planning on changing the timing belt on my 2008 Jag XF 2.7 this weekend, has anyone done this by themselves? I have the factory service manual and i will do it according to it but has anyone have any tips on this?

Last week I left the office and went out to start my car and head home. I hopped in and pushed the start button, only to realize I had left my fob on my desk. I went inside, grabbed the fob, and came back out. My car then would not start. The engine would try to turn over, but it would just dry...
